No concrete details were given regarding the actor's role, but insiders reveal he is playing a military character. Aaron Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, and Juliette Binoche are also in talks to star.

Gareth Edwards (Monsters) is directing from a screenplay by Max Borenstein, Dave Callaham, and Frank Darabont. It isn't known when production will begin.

Aside from his role in Lincoln, David Strathairn also starred in last year's action-thriller The Bourne Legacy and Hemingway & Gellhorn.

@narrator Unfortunately. It had is faults, but it was beginning to become the next Heroes for Syfy channel. Ah well, least we got Warehouse 13, Lost Girl and their upcoming series Defiance which will bring back the program to its roots

This films proposed cast (hope everyone is confirmed soon) is pretty f*cking ace. Despite my reservations, I know I'm going to see this film in theaters, so I just hope the script and directing works to the benefit of all.
